Many Thanks!!
On Monday night I stood in a London gallery and as I looked at all the people who made the effort to come along to my exhibition preview event, I was once again blown away by the kindness and generosity of you lovely people. A charity auction took place and we raised 3.5k for the Alzheimers society, and hopefully everyone had a nice evening. I certainly did.
It’s been a strange and sometimes very difficult couple of years since my last exhibition and getting back into the gallery (without an injunction!) felt absolutely great. The enthusiasm and dedication from my art collectors continually amazes me and the response I’ve had to this collection has thrilled me to bits, So I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who came along, especially those who dug deep for charity and I need to apologise if I didn’t get to say hello to everyone in person.
I will now return from this latest adventure to the North East, find a new home and start my next collection. I hope to see you all back again in another couple of years, sooner if I get my socks pulled up.
Thanks all, the gingerbread has wings again. SJ x
ps We are in the gallery 27 on Cork Street, until 2pm on Saturday, so it’s not too late if you want to view the paintings.

Hi SJ
Just wanted to say how awesome the exhibition is. We loved them all, what a fantastic display. Thanks for taking so much time to chat to us. Am now back at home in my own ‘gallery’ of your work, tired but happy, and munching on choccies.
Hope the sunflowers last the week!!

Hello Sarah
me to you today Friday 18th Sept at the exhibition and were both absolutely thrilled and grinning like ‘cheshire cats’ all the way home. It was an fantastic privilege to meet you and can’t thank you enough for spending so much time chatting with us. It was great to see all your new work and to met you and the Bedlington Terrier (What a pair of crazy girls you are) Please think about doing some limited edition prints of ‘cutting free’…it really ’says a lot’ for the both of us. Can’t wait ’til the next time. Good luck…’Onward and Upward’

Hello Sarah Jane, Ian and Margi, I just want to say a great big thank you for a fabulous Preview evening. Rob and I are still talking about your paintings. On the night we missed out on Smartypants -the original and the aution one……but I didn’t give up and I’ve been lucky enough to track a canvas copy down at the Picture Perfect Gallary. I can’t wait to pick that up now!
Thanks again, love to you all, Maria

Visiting the gallery on our wedding anniversary was a fantastic treat, we enjoyed every moment and enjoyed the company of all your followers and gingerbread fanatics. Hope you can be persuaded to release the tortoise shells out, rude food (think the name u did not use was more appropriate) and smartypants on paper, That would make me very happy.
Thanks again,
Mandy, Mark x

Hello Sarah
What a fantastic collection of work! I’ve couldn’t get to London so have just viewed your new paintings online. Please put together another book, even if it takes a couple of years – I can wait!

Hi Sarah,
I would like to thank you and your team for a wonderful evening on the 14th September. My wife and I loved your new work and have already established our want list from your new collection.
I still can’t believe that Richard and I both won a prize in the raffle, one after another, quite amazing!
It was great to see you again and hope that you keep up the good work in knowledge that we all love what you do.
My eldest son (14) really likes your work too, and was desperate to take your brochure into school to show his art teacher the next day!
Take care and hope to see you again soon.
